November 2 – We Remember Them
Honoring of our Beloved Deceased By Christine Robinson
“At this darkening time of the year, our thoughts turn to things past, to life retreating, to those who are no longer with us. Images come to our minds; of dear companions, who once graced our lives, loved ones whom we miss, persons whose lives made an impact on our lives; of all those who were here, contributing, caring, and are now gone.
Our memories bring both joy and sadness; let us not push these feelings away. For our recollections attest to the enduring importance of these friends, this love, our memories.
May these brave and lovely spirits live again in our tender thoughts, and prove that death and distance are powerless to sever the bonds that connect truly loving hearts.”
Sunday, November 2nd is our annual “Remember Them” service. Join us as we gather to remember, share stories, and honor our loved ones who have passed on. Service leader Roberta

Building Updates and BIG Thanks
If you’ve been in and around the Fellowship this past month you’ve must have noticed the work being done in and around the building. Many thanks to Fred Snell and Richard Thieret for the upgrades. Fred and Assistants have repaired the soffet on the building, have begun the removal of the sycamore in the back yard and applied new treatment on the deck. These repairs and continued maintenance keep our building running. The sycamore tree is threatening to our building and that is the reason that it must come down. Please give Fred a high five , kudos or other celebratory greeting when you see him next. Thanks Fred.
